The World is Getting Smaller, as is Access to Bank Accounts

Remittances Summit-2012


WEBWIRE

There is likely to be more consolidation in the remittances market, as it becomes increasingly difficult for small and medium sized operators to maintain profitability, given the current trends in the business. This phenomenon is being driven by reducing prices, tighter margins and more competition. It is critical to understand the impact of the financial crisis of 2008 that started with the collapse of the financial sector in the United States and Western Europe quickly spread to countries around the globe in the remittance industry.

Despite an increasingly vigilant global regulatory environment in the remittances industry, such as in the UK and the US, where there are a strong number of non-bank RSPs, the current problem with accessing bank accounts is either increasing the bank charges making continuing operations more difficult or actually reducing the number of operators in certain corridors. Some banks are taking a strategic decision of closing or not opening bank accounts to non-banks RSPs. International banks are not always applying the same criteria in opening accounts for existing corporate clients in countries where they have subsidiaries.

As every year the International Association of Money Transfer Networks (IAMTN) is inviting money transfer professionals from all over the world to the major event of the industry - the Global Money Transfer Summit. This year’s London Summit will take place on 7th & 8th November 2012 at London Hilton Docklands Riverside.
